Revert "mm: fail GFP_DMA allocations when ZONE_DMA is not configured"
This reverts commit a197b59ae6e8bee56fcef37ea2482dc08414e2ac.
As rmk says:
"Commit a197b59ae6e8 (mm: fail GFP_DMA allocations when ZONE_DMA is not
configured) is causing regressions on ARM with various drivers which
use GFP_DMA.
The behaviour up until now has been to silently ignore that flag when
CONFIG_ZONE_DMA is not enabled, and to allocate from the normal zone.
However, as a result of the above commit, such allocations now fail
which causes drivers to fail. These are regressions compared to the
previous kernel version."
so just revert it.
